Hell Above

Hell Above

I cannot spend another night in this home
I close my eyes and take a breath real slow
The consequence is if I leave I'm alone...
But what's the difference when you beg for love?
As I run through glass in the street, kerosene hearts
Carry the name that my father gave me
And take the face of the wolf.

'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
With heaven above you, there's Hell over me.
I met a girl who never looked so alone
Like sugar water in your mouth, luke warm
She tied a cherry stem for me with her tongue
We fell in love, and now we're both alone
'Cause I don't need any more friends
And another kiss like a fire on the pavement
We'll burn it down till the end.
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
With Heaven above you, there's Hell over me
The water is rusted, the air is unclean
And there for a second I feel free
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
I've waited all this night to honor you and say,
"I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me?"
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
With Heaven above you, there's Hell over me
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
With Heaven above you, there's Hell over me.

You said what about us? Well, what about me?
Hang from the gallows, asleep in the rain
'Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat.
Paralyze me
Don't let me jump
Don't let me fall.
